    Pete's Videos Tip for Tel when he leaves his lighter at home

    When I was a radar mechanic on Hunters, I was surprised to see guys lighting their cigs by pressing their smokes on the aerial of the VHF set, and pressing Transmit on tested sets.. It worked quite well, with RF power!

    You CAN still watch F1 live Free!I watch it by having a dish set to the old Sky analogue satellite at 19 degrees east..If you find the German RTL 1 channel-mine is on channel 181.you get the whole practice and GP live. I listen to Radio 5 Live as I watch the pictures..You can buy a digital box...

    Using sky box as freeview, problems

    Hi Trev,sorry to hear about your problems..It sounds as if your signal strength is poor. Using your Sky Remote,press the oval "Services" button, then select 4-System Setup,then 6 Signal Test. If the top Signal Strength bar is not at least 70% up you may have problems. Probably your dish has...

    Probably the simplest install you will ever do!

    I have been following this forum for many weeks,and feel that this is the best place to get a professional pv installation quote.Here's my setup; Electrics- had a NICEIC inspection in 2008, with certificate .At the time a MEM 2000AD CU was fitted. It has two unused ways.All meters,etc are in...

    Which PV Inverter has the best AC Waveform?

    I have now had a further email ,this time from the UK Mitsubishi web site in which it says that their japanese-made inverters "are not currently compatible with UK legislation,so for the forseeable future we will not be selling them in the UK".

    Which PV Inverter has the best AC Waveform?

    Sorry, Daytona600,I don't follow you when you say "all the above are pure sine wave inverters"..The only inverters I can find named on this thread are the ones I mentioned in my opening question. They were SMA, Fronius, and DIEHL,all of which are NOT pure sine wave inverters.I've now contacted...

    Which PV Inverter has the best AC Waveform?

    I have just had an email from Mitsubishi telling me that their Gradationally Controlled inverters are not available in the UK, which I feel is rather sad.

    Which PV Inverter has the best AC Waveform?

    Which PV Inverter has the best AC Waveform?

    Unfortunately,I'm not sure about the cost.I saw it on a site entitled "Mitsubishi research and development" from 2010,so I don't know if they are available yet.I'm making enquiries and will let you know if I discover anything. I should imagine the cost would be somewhere between the Modified...

    Which PV Inverter has the best AC Waveform?

    Thanks Marvo.The inverter will be part of a normal domestic installation.I wondered if anyone has experience of a new inverter technology used by Mitsubishi,called "Gradationally Controlled Voltage" which ,while not pure sine wave, gives a much improved waveform,and would seem to be suitable...

    Which PV Inverter has the best AC Waveform?

    Hi, I wonder if any expert on this forum can advise me as to which of the generally-available inverters has the best,least choppy AC waveform? I know that a Pure Sine Wave inverter is the ideal but in practical terms they are prohibitivley expensive..Of the Modified Sine wave Inverters I read...
